Does anyone have any experience with this kind of construction. Been toying with having a 300 to 400 square foot shack/cabin built this spring. I found an amish builder about 30 minutes from me that seems very reasonable and have found some very happy customers of his (guy named Ivan out of Chetek).
Here is an example: http://www.small-cabin.com/forum/6_5585_0.html (not the style I'd want, but this basic gist)
Just curious if there are any obvious advantages of this approach vs stick built for this size structure. The seemingly low price appealed to me. I want a warm place to stay a few weekends a year during the hunting season. Enough room to sleep up to four, but usually just one or two of us... My house is only a hour away, so I don't envision extended stays. We stay in a junky old camper now...
